I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 412

Granny Cao's return in vain made Yao Zhen smash her favorite set of blue and white ancient porcelain teacups in a fit of anger, her overly rigid face was full of offended anger, and she cursed bitterly: "It's just a humble villager. Wild girl, how dare you be so ignorant of flattery!"

Mammy Cao hurriedly comforted the angry Yao Zhenyi, motioned to Qiaoyun to clean up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, while she poured tea and handed it over.

"Young madam, why bother to get angry with a cheap brat, she is just a cheap girl who can't get on the stage, thinking that having Gu Xueshi as a teacher is superior to others, bah, she doesn't want to think that if Gu Xueshi really accepts apprentices, why doesn't she take her to the capital In terms of status, who in Longyou Dao is as honorable as the young lady."

"That's right, Young Madam, you are today's grandniece. The princes in the palace are all Young Madam's uncles. This means that Young Madam married far away. Otherwise, if you are in the capital, no children from any family will give you any favors." Qiao Yun Not to be outdone, flattery, Cao Mama, a dead old woman, has gained so many benefits from the Young Madam, and speaking of herself as the Young Madam's big maid, it should be her turn to benefit.

Yao Zhenyi took the teacup with a hand stained with cardamom and drank two sips of tea. The anger in her heart calmed down a little, but she was still very dissatisfied with Zhan Feiyu, who didn't know how to flatter her. Mama rushed out, but the name of Xueshi Gu's disciple made her crazy."

"What Young Madam said is that she is just a yellow-haired girl, and she is arrogant when she succeeds. I heard that officials, big and small, in the Suzhou government are still supporting her. These officials are also shallow-sighted." Cao Mama's face was full of disdain. He stared at Qiao Yun with contempt and dissatisfaction.

Originally, she snatched this job from Qiaoyun, a lowly maidservant, but Mammy Cao thought that she could get some benefits from Zhan Feiyu. After all, the little girl can take out the 3000 taels of silver, which is rich and powerful, and then she will use the name of the young lady Head, Zhan Feiyu had no choice but to curry favor with himself, let him say something nice for her in front of the young lady.

But Cao Mama didn't expect Zhan Feiyu to be too stubborn. He Nuan squeezed a silver ingot into a ball in front of Cao Mama, and Cao Mama ran out of the inn in fright. Discredit Zhan Feiyu in front of Yao Zhenyi.

"Young Madam, Zhan Feiyu doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, so I'm afraid I won't hand over this roster easily." Madam Cao lowered her voice, her wrinkled old face showing worry.

Cao Mama looked at Yao Zhenyi who was also stern and continued: "Although the young lady is related to the palace by blood, the young lady is married far away after all. If this roster can be handed over to the palace, the princes will definitely be grateful. Ma'am, not only will the Young Madam be able to return to the capital by then, but does the Young Master want any officials?"

When it comes to the topic of returning to the capital, Qiao Yun will not be confrontational with Cao Mama this time, and hastily echoed: "Yes, young lady, the elder is only a fourth-rank magistrate. When the time comes, the young master will be promoted to rank, sir. Those people in the room probably have green intestines from regret, let's see who dares to neglect the young lady!"

"Since that damn girl Zhan Feiyu doesn't eat toasts, don't blame me for being rude!" Yao Zhenyi slapped the table, and her sharp voice sounded bitterly, "Mother Cao, go to Jin's house, Let Jin Jiuye take someone to teach that bitch a lesson, and it's fine if she doesn't kill anyone, it's best if she can get the roster."

The Jin family is notorious in Minhe Prefecture. They do all kinds of dirty business. It is said that they have a large number of thugs under their hands, and they all do the business of beheading.

However, the Jin family has always acted cautiously. Whenever the government finds out some clues, it is the stewards of the Jin family who come forward to take the blame, and all the evidence points to the stewards who are the culprits.

The Jin family is good at business. Although they are merchants, they have a huge network of contacts in Minhe Mansion, neighboring state capitals, and even in Longzhou Mansion. However, these relationships are all in the back house, not this lord. The concubine is the favorite of that adult.

It is said that even the acquaintances in the government office who were arrested in the brothel were also from the Jin family. The news leaked out before the government sent someone to investigate the Jin family.

Two years ago, Yao Zhenyi married Yuan's family, and the Jin family immediately sent someone to establish this relationship. Every time the Jin family's female family members came to visit Yao Zhenyi, they would give precious gifts that could not be more expensive.

Yuan Zhifu also mentioned it cryptically, but Yao Zhenyi met the wife of the back house, Yuan Zhifu, an uncle, could not interfere too much, and the Jin family only gave gifts but never asked Yao Zhenyi to help, Yuan Zhifu could not find a reason to stop it .

When Mammy Cao heard this, greedy eyes suddenly appeared, and she went to Dongsheng Inn for nothing, and was almost scared to death, but it was different when she went to Jin's house. This is fat.

"Young Madam, don't worry, this old slave will go to Jin's house right away." Madam Cao said respectfully, and glanced provocatively at Qiaoyun who was resentful and unwilling. A lowly maid dared to argue with her, bah, what old lady eats There is more salt than the rice she eats!
Mammy Cao left in a hurry, and the news from the backyard of the second room could not be hidden from the eldest wife of the Yuan family. Here, Mammy Cao got into the carriage again and went out, and the old nanny in the backyard immediately passed the news over.

Yuan Zhifu is also the age to know the destiny, but Mrs. Yuan seems to be ten years older than Yuan Zhifu at first glance. Although the clothes are decent and luxurious, there is a gloomy look in her eyes that cannot be concealed.

"What's the fuss over there?" Mrs. Yuan rubbed her brows, and raised her hand to signal to the eldest daughter-in-law that she doesn't have to avoid it. Her spirit is getting worse every day. In the future, the Yuan Mansion will still have the eldest daughter-in-law to be the head of the house, so let her listen more also good.

The person who answered was the maid beside Mrs. Yuan, who looked about the same age as Qiaoyun, but there was an upright look in her eyes, "Mrs. Hui..."

Hearing that the maid said that Yao Zhen agreed to Hong Guanshi to buy Muxiangju with 5000 taels of silver, Mrs. Yuan frowned. Could it be that there is too much money and no place to spend it?

Even the eldest daughter-in-law, Miao, was shocked. This was 5000 taels of silver. She married the eldest son of the Yuan family, but the dowry silver at the bottom of the box was only 2000 taels. She was terrified.

But the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thought that if Yao Zhenyi really moved away, even if it was 5000 taels, they would accept it, and the right was to spend money to eliminate disasters.

However, the old lady of the Yuan family and Yuan Zhifu took into account that the second room was only a grandson/nephew of Yuan Pingkang, so they tolerated Yao Zhen in various ways, which caused the female family members of the eldest room to suffer a lot of grievances, but they couldn't bring it up to the public.

"Don't you buy it again?" After the maid said about the quarrel between Guanshi Hong and Madam Cao in the second bedroom, Mrs. Yuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh. The Yao family must have a grudge against the Yuan family, and that's why they married such a girl to the Yuan family. , the scourge of the Yuan family could not live in peace.

Mrs. Miao tightened her handkerchief and couldn't help asking: "Your brother and sister, does she have a grudge against that little girl?"

If there is no enmity, why would Yao Zhenyi interfere and mess up the other party's purchase of a house and not buy it herself.

When the eldest maid said that Madam Cao had taken Yao Zhenyi's order to go to Jin's house, Madam Yuan's complexion changed suddenly.

It doesn't matter about Guanshi Hong, it's just a verbal agreement, Guanshi Hong himself is also a greedy person, he will never dare to make a fuss with the government, he can only suffer this boring loss by himself.

But it's different when it comes to the Jin family, it's a cancer of the Minhe Mansion, Madam Yuan doesn't care about the government affairs, but she also knows that Yuan Zhifu has always wanted to bring the Jin family to justice, but unfortunately there is too much resistance.

Not only the subordinates of the government office, but also those merchants in Minhe Prefecture, and even a famous literati have a constant relationship with the Jin family.

It is absolutely impossible for the prefect Yuan to investigate the Jin family by himself, and it may even put the Yuan family in danger, so the prefect Yuan can only do it slowly.

But once Yao Zhenyi got involved with the Jin family, it would be like handing over a ready-made handle to the Jin family, unless Yuan Zhifu could kill relatives righteously and didn't care about the life and death of the Yuan family's second wife.

"Send someone to stop Cao Mama immediately, and then send someone to the government office to inform the master about this." Madam Yuan said sharply, wishing to open Yao Zhenyi's mind to see what she was thinking.The Yuan family's family must be ruined and killed to stop!
The servant left in a hurry, Miao looked at the startled and angry mother-in-law, and couldn't help but said: "Mother, my brother and sister have always acted in extreme ways, why don't you send someone to Dongsheng Inn to take this little girl into the house, if she and her brother and sister Any misunderstanding may be cleared up in person."

In fact, Miao was worried that Yao Zhenyi would really attack a little girl. If someone died, it would be troublesome. She could spend 3000 taels of silver to buy Muxiangju. This little girl must have some background. When her family sues the yamen, the future of all the men in the Yuan family will be ruined in Yao Zhenyi's hands.
